Enbridge Launches CDN$2.6B Bought-Deal Offering to Fund Acquisitions
ENB is trading near its 52-week low of $45.025 (12% above the low).
Summary
Enbridge is raising CDN$2.6 billion through a bought-deal offering of 38.9 million common shares at CDN$66.85 per share, with an over-allotment option that could push total proceeds to CDN$3.0 billion. The deal is led by RBC Capital Markets and CIBC Capital Markets, with closing expected September 14, 2026. Proceeds will partially fund announced acquisitions and provide financial flexibility for growth opportunities. This is a significant equity issuance that will dilute existing shareholders by roughly 1.8% (before over-allotment), and the offering price represents a discount to the last close, which typically pressures the stock in the near term. The move follows the recent announcement of CEO Greg Ebel's retirement at year-end 2026, adding to a period of transition for the company. Investors will watch for details on the specific acquisitions being funded and any further capital raises.
